Wax Flakes Block the Jar Mouth During Honey Pour - 適合中級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Warm wax pressed under Blair's thumb and left a shiny line on the skin.

Ulysses set the honeycomb frame on a tray, and the table held steady.

Sweet beeswax smell rose with warmth, and a low sticky sound stretched between fingers.

He lifted a warm knife and slid it along the capped cells.

The protective wax softened and curled, and pale cappings fell in light flakes.

They scattered across the tray and made a soft pile near the bowl's rim.

"It's warm," Blair said, holding a clean jar near the open comb.

When Ulysses tipped the frame, honey moved out, thick and slow, toward the jar.

Wax crumbs slid too, and a few grains collected under the glass base.

The jar rocked a little, so Blair set it down and cleared the crumbs.

Blair blew gently to lift a stray flake; his cheeks inflated, then eased.

The breath flipped a delicate scrap onto the mouth, and it broke and sifted in.

Honey paused at the neck for a moment, then surged inside with a wet tap.

A mote of yellow pollen drifted across the rim and landed on the sticky thread.

Ulysses held a small strainer over the jar, and bits of wax stayed behind.

More cappings slid from the comb and tumbled into the bowl, then settled.

Fine crumbs clung to Blair's wrists, and the sweet smell mixed with warm air.

Loose flakes sank in the bowl and lay still as a small mound.

The thin drip slowed on its own and hung steady above the waiting glass.

溫熱的蠟在Blair的拇指下被壓開，在皮膚上留下一道亮亮的痕。

Ulysses把蜂巢框放在托盤上，桌面很穩。

甜甜的蜂蠟味隨著暖意升起，低低的黏拉聲在指間拉長。

他提起一把溫熱的小刀，沿著封蓋的蜂房滑過。

保護性的蠟層變軟並捲起，淡色的封蓋像薄片一樣落下。

它們散在托盤上，在碗緣旁堆成一小堆。

「好暖喔。」Blair說，雙手捧著乾淨的玻璃罐靠近打開的蜂巢。

當Ulysses把框輕輕傾斜，蜂蜜濃稠緩慢地往罐子流去。

細碎的蠟屑也滑動起來，有幾粒卡在玻璃底邊。

罐子輕輕晃了一下，於是Blair放下它，把屑屑清開。

Blair輕輕吹了一口氣想抬起一片飄散的薄屑；他的臉頰鼓起又放鬆。

這口氣把一片細緻的薄屑翻到罐口，它破裂後像細粉一樣篩進去。

蜂蜜在瓶頸停了一下，接著伴著一聲濕潤的輕響湧入。

一粒淡黃的花粉微塵飄過罐緣，落在那條黏黏的線上。

Ulysses把小濾網架在罐上，幾小塊蠟就留下來了。

更多封蓋從蜂巢滑落到碗裡，翻滾一下便安定下來。

細屑黏在Blair的手腕上，甜味和暖空氣交在一起。

鬆散的薄片沉在碗裡，靜靜堆成一小丘。

細細的滴流自己慢了下來，穩穩懸在等待的玻璃上方。
